With the Easter holidays fast approaching, and the weather being its usual changeable self, I thought that a blog about rainy day activities might be helpful. From craft activities to days out, there’s something for everyone, from pre-school to high school.

Pre-school children

From pasta pictures to fairy houses, there’s something for everyone with NetMum’s 35 Rainy Day activities. Some activities will need a bit of pre-planning, but others are completely impromptu – like building an indoor assault course! Click here for the link.

School age children

If your child enjoys science, technology, engineering and maths, then these 44 challenges will be a good way to stop the boredom setting in over the holiday. The James Dyson Foundation have created a downloadable PDF with clear instructions for each activity. Click here for the link.

Any age – even Dads!

BBC Rocket Challenge. Build it on a rainy day, launch it when the sun comes out! Have a go at this BBC Rocket Challenge, using a few household items such as bottles, straws, vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. What could go wrong?

There’s plenty to fill a morning or two. With videos from some of the TV shows that have given this challenge a go, clear instructions on how to build your own rocket, and further activities to try at home. Click here for the link.

Your Memories

Whatever you get up to over the holidays, I hope you have fun making lovely memories with your children. If you get a minute I’d love to see what you’ve been doing. Please post your pictures or videos on my Facebook page here.
